OK so I have been up the mast on the main halyard with the jib halyard attached as a safety. I didn't find it very satisfactory and generally found that I couldn't get up high enough to really see the top of the mast properly. So what are your esteemed recommendations? I should add that my 10 year o...

Greetings one and all, I am about to loose my 3rd VHF aerial in 3 years. If I get caught in roughs, have a rough passage to windward or spend too long reefing in a good blow with a bit of a sea then I seem to loosen my VHF aerial and if I am not quit enough I saw goodbye to my aerial and windex. So ...

A bit late to respond to this thread - I use a 6ft Barrow Boat with the wheel taken off. It can be rowed, motored and sailed. It fits nicely between the main track and the mast and fits under the kicker

Hi Mike Having looked at the parts I cannot see that there would be anything subject to copyright & Paul Dennis in the US doesn't seem overly concerned about supplying external to the US. I should add I am not a legal beagle so can't say with any assurity at all. In the end I purchased the wrap arou...

Oh by the way I went to Saxon Wharf and spoke to Harry at the Rig Shop. He said he would have to custom make the sheave. I didn't believe him so I have just sourced one from Marinestore.co.uk who have a range of diameters and thicknesses.

Oh I missed Crossjack's reply! I shall try there for the sheave then. Just to say that Paul Dennis at Warren River Boatworks now has an international eBay shop and does sell camberspar parts on it for shipping globally. I haven't see Crossjack in a while - still out of the water? Keep well Feronia/P...

Thanks to Ed I have managed to speak to Paul Dennis.

The good news for non USA folks is that he will very shortly be setting up an EBay shop and will sell Camber Spar parts, available internationally.

Keep well

Hi all, I have managed to drop the wheel and the forward steel cowling of the camber spar over the side and would like to obtain a replacement. I have tried calling the Warren River Boatworks that say they have stocks but I can't get through on their phone.... it rings and rings then goes engaged. I...

I forgot to say that following my question and the responses... I just went ahead and tried it. OK I had to try it due to wind gusting up to 40 knots. As you quite rightly say it is very easy with the Tides Marine track. It would not have been that easy with rigging and spreaders though! Keep well P...
